Starting New Project

So a group of students who are with Mr. Lasher's extra literacy time have begun a new project involving writing, photography, technology and pubic speaking.  We are using a Web 2.0 tool known as, Voice Thread that allows you to make a photographic tour, while adding your voice as the tour guide. The project is to make a tour of the village of Hinesburg that we can share with students from other parts of the world.  In return, we are asking students from other parts of the world to make Voice Thread tours of their hometown.  We're hoping that we can compare and contrast our lives through this, as well as by other means. 
        Yesterday we spent time walking along the sidewalks in town and taking pictures of the various important aspects of the village center in the eyes of 6th grade students.  When we finish the final product, we will post it here for all to see!
